"It is a huge breakthrough that builds on a long program of research at the ICR which could represent a transformative advance for people with this type of breast cancer. This new combination helps prevent the cancer becoming resistant to therapy, and results in more frequent long-term response...
Indeed, treatment approaches designed on the basis of an improved understanding of cancer biology have led to unprecedented responses in early phase trials, sometimes resulting in drug approvals in the absence of large-scale trials. At the same time, improved molecular diagnostic technologies have ...
